IN Chamber: The Podcast

Latest Episodes:

Episode 6 - Passion in the (college) Presidency Sep 12, 2017

Show notes

The new president of Earlham College wants the Richmond school to no longer be one of the “best-kept secrets” in higher education. A graduate of the school, Alan Price says he has come full circle in his career. We talk about a former law school colleague who went on to a different type of presidency, chess, African American leadership in higher education and more in our conversation.

Episode 5 - Location, Location, Location Comes Down to Talent, Talent, Talent Aug 29, 2017

Show notes

A number of factors have historically come into play in business location decisions. Today, it’s all about talent. Larry Gigerich and his Indiana-based Ginovus firm are working with companies on these choices every day. He identifies hot spots, both in Indiana and nationally, talks incentives and evaluates efforts close to home.

Episode 4 - Clint Kugler Aug 15, 2017

Show notes

He’s the energetic CEO of a YMCA in Wabash, Indiana. He’s also one of the leaders of an effort to change the way young people – and their families – view the value of education. Clint Kugler brings us up to date on the progress of the Promise Indiana program (www.promiseindiana.org), which introduces college savings accounts to students at an early age and, more importantly, helps build community champions and change attitudes. It’s a local effort that is gaining national and international recognition. BizVoice® magazine first profiled the initial efforts in Wabash County in 2015 (www.bizvoicemagazine.com/media/archives/15marapr/Promise.pdf).

Episode 3 - Graham Richard Aug 01, 2017

Show notes

Graham Richard was an Indiana state senator for four years, enjoyed a successful 20-year business career and served as mayor of Fort Wayne, his hometown, for two terms. Today, he brings those past experiences together as CEO of Advanced Energy Economy. Richard is particularly enthusiastic about the prospects for Indiana in combining its industry strengths with the economic opportunities available from new and developing forms of energy. Here’s a profile of Richard when he was named the Indiana Chamber’s 2007 Government Leader of the Year (www.bizvoicemagazine.com/media/archives/07novdec/AAD-Richard.pdf).

Episode 2 - Lee Hamilton Jul 25, 2017

Show notes

Lee Hamilton not only represented Indiana’s 9th Congressional District for 34 years, but has remained a national voice of reason on foreign affairs, national security and so many other issues. He literally wrote a book on how Congress should work – and tells us today that our representatives and senators are not fulfilling two of their primary duties. In addition, he notes President Trump’s agenda is “moving us in a direction unlike any of his predecessors.” Hamilton was the 1997 Indiana Chamber Government Leader of the Year.

Episode 1 - Jamie Merisotis Jul 18, 2017

Show notes

Jamie Merisotis wrote a 2015 bestselling book titled America Needs Talent and has made nearly 100 appearances in what he terms the “book tour that never ended.” The president and CEO of the Lumina Foundation has called Indiana home for nearly the past decade, but he is a national and international thought leader on education and the workforce. He makes the compelling case for how talent development and talent attraction need to work in tandem to help achieve the individual and collective goals of American prosperity.
